Regulatory Environment

Legislation requiring effective corporate governance and privacy protection is impacting organizations world-wide.

Sarbanes-Oxley

Requires that publicly traded companies comply with the proper reporting of financial information and control access to this information.

SAS 70

Allows service organizations to disclose their control activities and processes to their customers and their customers’ auditors in a uniform reporting format.

HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.

21CFR11

Electronic signature and system protection regulations by the FDA.

GLB

Applies to financial institutions and securities firms, aimed at protecting the privacy of customer data.

PIPEDA

The Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronics Document Act.

2002/58/EC

European Union Privacy Protection Directive.

These regulations call for better internal controls and a policy of least-privilege.

IAM is Linked to Regulations • Many regulations, in many jurisdictions, call for internal controls: – This implies effective AAA: Authentication, Authorization and Audit.

• Every system already has AAA. – The weakness is bad user/access data.

• The missing link is business process: – Appropriate access rights.

– Timely access termination.

– Effective authentication.

• Identity and access management process and technology are needed to bridge the gap between business requirements and AAA infrastructure.

Compliance Architecture

Build a common architecture to address multiple regulatory requirements: • Externalize administration of users and entitlements from applications.

• Administration process should be user-focused, not application-focused.

Authentication

Authorization

Audit

Infrastructure

Password management.

Automatic access termination; Sod policy enforcement.

Login ID reconciliation; Periodic review of user rights.

Firewalls, virus scanners, etc.

Problem: Users Accumulate Rights Over time, users change roles/responsibilities:

With each transition, users accumulate entitlements:

• Users change jobs, departments and locations.

• There are many users, each with access to many systems.

10

• From what? There is no record of every right a user had before, so old rights are not removed.

• To what? Without a role model, it is impossible to say which of a user’s old rights should stay and which should go.

• When? A reassigned user may back up his replacement for a while, so must retain old rights for an undefined period of time.

Access Certification

Access Certifier automates periodic review and cleanup of entitlements: • • • • • •

Leverages org-chart data.

Delegates access review, cleanup and certification to managers.

Automated e-mail reminders to managers and other stake-holders.

Stake-holders review entitlements on a web form.

Entitlements are either certified or flagged for removal.

Stake-holders must sign off on completed reviews.

Access Certifier Features

Access Certifier automates periodic audits of all users and their access rights: • Orgchart integration: – Managers are reminded to review their direct subordinates.

• Certification: – Each manager’s review is completed by an electronic signature, to certify that remaining entitlements are appropriate.

• Completion: – Managers are motivated to complete the audit, since failure to do so prevents their superiors’ own audits.

• Roll-up: – At the end of the process, executives can attest to appropriate entitlements enterprise-wide.

12

Accountability Up the Org Chart • Managers cannot sign off until all subordinate managers have signed off.

– Creates a chain of accountability, flowing up the org-chart.

• Managers are blocked from sign-off until their subordinate managers finish their own reviews.

– Creates downward pressure throughout the organization to complete the review process.

– Effective, low cost manager motivation.

Unique Advantages of Access Certifier Executive Assurance

When the CEO or CFO signs off, they are assured that the process has been completed globally. They can then attest to this aspect of internal controls in a SOX compliance statement.

Proactive

Managers are automatically asked to review the rights of their subordinates.

Non-response triggers reminders and escalation.

Full coverage

Management pressure down the org-chart ensures that the process is actually completed globally.

Rapid deployment

The only requirement is org-chart data. No role definition or user classification.
